Muslim Discourse on Rebellion John KelsayWithin Islamic thought, the judgments pertaining to rebels—known as ahkam al-bughat—constitute a subset of the larger category of "judgments pertaining to armed struggle," or ahkam al-jihad.

Why We Need a Just Rebellion Theory Valerie MorkeviciusBecause these two influential streams of thought are in such tension with each other, our thinking about rebellion in the West tends to be piecemeal, driven more by gut reactions than by philosophical reasoning and careful political analysis. As a result, our responses to rebellion are scattered, unpredictable, and unfortunately often tragically misplaced.

FEATURES

Sovereign Wealth Funds and Global Justice Chris ArmstrongInsofar as ethical debates have begun to touch on how the assets of sovereign wealth funds should be distributed, they have tended to ask how these should be distributed internally, to citizens of the countries in question. Sovereign wealth funds are the creation of sovereigns, after all, and we might think that the first duty of a sovereign is to its people. What, though, of the claims of global justice?

On Rights to Land, Expulsions, and Corrective Justice Margaret MooreThis article examines the nature of the wrongs that are inflicted on individuals and groups who have been expelled from the land that they previously occupied, and asks what they might consequently be owed as a matter of corrective justice. Moore argues that there are three sorts of potential wrongs involved in such expulsions: being deprived of the moral right of occupancy; being denied collective self-determination; and having one's property rights violated.
